I worked with Steve at Harvey's, and am deeply sorry to hear of his passing. I did not know his family, but I did know how proud he was of his wife and kids, it was so obvious when he spoke of them. Steve was a great person, who always had a great outlook. I will miss him. My prayers are with Steve, as well as the people he left behind.
